Production cell copes with challenges for heating coils

Complex requirements for the production of spiral heat exchangers we have now met with a fully automatic solution: The highly specialized manufacturing cell of our t motion technology convinces particularly through effective processes and precision in handling and positioning. She enables the efficient production of heating coils with lateral connections for tubes from 21,3 up to 42,4 mm.

Intelligent processes, exact results

After the push bending process, the diameters of the coils and the outlet lengths of the heating coils are exactly measured in a measuring system to ensure the needed precision and process safety for the following bending in a special mandrel bending machine. “Also the following processing and cut of the tube ends as well as the requested installation of a special frontal facing are effected fully automatic with robots and our intelligent t motion-technology”, defines Benedikt Hümmler, the general manager of the construction/production of transfluid®, the new technical development.

Challenge handling

Next to the sportive cycle time of 90 seconds for the total process, the transfluid®-automation system convinces with simple handling and results, which meet the requirements of the costumer to 100 percent.” The handling and the positioning of the heating coils were a special challenge because the parts are relatively unstable and at the same time quite heavy” said Gerd Nöker, transfluid®- general manager of sales and marketing. “Even more, we are happy to achieve our requirements ´the solution for tubes´ with this machine once again.
